Item 5.          Other Events.

        On June 12, 2003, the Registrant agreed to enter into a strategic business alliance with Société des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Etrangers à Monaco, a société anonyme Monegasque organized under the laws of the Principality of Monaco (“SBM”) that provides for, among other things, the mutual exchange of management and marketing expertise. In connection with the strategic alliance, the Registrant agreed to sell 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to SBM in a privately negotiated, all cash transaction for US$15.00 per share, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant. In return, SBM has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to refrain from transferring its shares of the Registrant’s common stock prior to April 1, 2005 and will be entitled to certain registration rights thereafter. The consummation of the transaction remains subject to approval by the Principality of Monaco, which is expected to happen prior to June 20, 2003. There can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained. A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant and SBM on June 12, 2003 with respect to the transaction is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
